Konqueror is not available for Windows and IE is not available for Linux so I guess comparing them is a bit useless.
I dual boot W2k and Linux. I can tell you one thing for sure, Konqueror is *much* faster than IE 5.5 (as is all of KDE2). Downloading the beta as I type this, with a smile on my face...thats another big difference: when I upgraded to w2k the student discounted price was $200. As was the student version of Office Professional. On an 800Mhz Athlon in W2k the lag after clicking while doing *anything* is painful.
Its not that its *easier* to learn than C, its that bad code that will compile as C generates compiler errors. Pascal was designed to teach (read enforce) design standards. If you knew C then you could code. If pascal was *hard* then you learned to code C poorly. It was the bad habits that kicked you, not the language.

Oh, i get it now! And since I work at home with just two machines, then they'd need a server. As long as its personal, and intranet, and as fast as going to hard disk is now, I'd still say "only when the servers are cheaper than buying a hard disk".
Most of my numerical work is in either Mathematica or Matlab, depending on if its for the Physics dept or the Math dept. I learned Fortran 77 back in the early 80s. Never played with ADA.
You sir are a troll. What I am saying is *not* that installing the service pack crashed my hard disk, but rather that the instability of W2K forced me to install both *twice*. I am suggesting that with everyone doing hugh downloads from microsoft, that the shear volume of the traffic killed their servers.

Can you say "smoke and mirrors"? I knew you could.
"In the early stages of open source, it was more of a charitable affair and developers didn't attach a fee," said George Weiss, an analyst at Gartner. "But the vendors are in it for financial success, and they'll think twice about being charitable while answering to their stockholders."
So we learn that Gartner doesn't even know the definition of open source or the difference between that and GPL. But wait!

"We need a full-time leader and a nonprofit organization that can be funded by IBM, Compaq, and Dell and the [Linux] distributors," said Hal Davison, owner and president of Davison Consulting, Sarasota, Fla.
And who the hell is he? I don't see IBM, Compaq,Dell, (and he forgot HP, Sun, and SGI) saying this. So again, who the hell is he?
I am currently rewriting a non-documented simulation program. The original used many global variables which were modified by various subrountines, two and three character variables with no semblence of meaning, and in general was not readable. I know the physics and the geometry of what we are simulating, and so it is faster to write my own code than to try to determine what his was doing.
Interesting...how feasable would this be? I have numerical programs that run for weeks up to over a month, could I stick a couple of these "boxes-in-a-box" in and just let them hum along?
Actually, elefanstsn, he said what it was said he said. Then what was he said was interpreted, which was made clear. So he actually did say that. And it probably meant about what was suggested.
Very academic. Thanks for the interesting read. Accept you meant that the United States of America (which is a country) is refered to as the American Republic (when in reality there are many American Republics). Oh, and the USA is a Democratic Republic. Thanks for the interesting read.
When I was in HS, nerds were some of the dumbest people I knew. That's one of the reasons they don't fit in...they think they know things, and they don't. It's very sad.
All of us in the Bay Area Experience Program of the Mentally Gifted Minors were without doubt nerds. We knew it. The school new it. The students knew it. Sorry, but the "dumbest people you knew" wouldn't be accepted by nerds. Then again, a mere engineer might not get accepted by a real nerd, either. Unless you were at SLAC or NASA or Sandia or IBM labs...Imagine that.
If its a toll free number, what makes you think it won't work from a private school? The "authoritarian bullshit" isn't limited to any school zone.
There is no reason to believe it will be limited to school. Imagine some some kid reports that you were acting unusual, and that "for your own good" this is reported to your manager. Not gonna feel so nonchalant about it then?
They are also being asked to inform on their peers (and parents). They are also being given the expensive technology to perform said informing. That *is* the issue. It is a valid issue. This hasn't been going on "since before recorded time." Nazi Germany, yes. Soviet Union, yes. USA, only just beginning. "You shut up and dealt with it" isn't a viable adaptive behavior to this, or very many (if any) issues.

Ditto in regards to student discounts...
Well or IBM or HP...any other clean room Javas out there? I don't think you'll see any clean room .NET available...

But why replace my hard disk with your hard disk...the security implications are staggering.
. I just imagine that the actual code will be first d/loaded, and then executed locally
Not for me. No thankyou. As cheap as hard drives are getting, you want me to use bandwidth rather than have a copy of vi on my system?

Actually it sounds like he does under it.

w2k sp1: 30 Mbytes

Then when it crashed my HD I had to reinstall and do the downloads again!
Simple enough solution for even a windows user: Try not clicking on the URL. That blue underlined hyperlink? You are wasting bandwidth.
Perhaps it depends on what they are threatened with? If the ACLU got involved, and threated lawsuits, that couldn't be a federal crime, could it? Yet?
